Soon, the two of them returned to the ward. The setting sun shone through the window, giving people a lazy feeling, constantly awakening the hidden sleepiness.
Unknowingly, Wan Qianqian fell into a deep sleep, not being disturbed in the slightest. But not long after falling asleep, she found herself in an especially dark room. There was not even a trace of light, and there was an unpleasant and pungent smell in the air, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her breathing tube felt like it was being fiercely grabbed, and the feeling of suffocation constantly attacked Wan Qianqian's nerves. She could feel that she was squatting in a corner, and close to her back was the cold wall.
Some small sounds were particularly familiar in this quiet and dark room. When a person's vision was useless, their other senses would gradually become stronger. Just like at this moment, she could clearly hear the small sounds made by some insects and mice, causing her to feel waves of fear in her heart.
She hurriedly hugged her knees, and her body kept moving closer to the wall. Her two feet constantly flopped on the ground, but there was no way for her to retreat.
More importantly, when Wan Qianqian's hands touched her legs, it felt like there were only bones inside, as if there was only a layer of skin covering the bones. This feeling made her feel especially scared, and her face tightened. Just where was she!?
The heavy sound of the metal door being opened could be heard, and the light squeezed in through the gap, directly reaching Wan Qianqian's dirty feet.
With the help of the light, her lively eyes could clearly see her own black feet. They were dirty, and there were even some blood stains. It was very disgusting.
"Big sister, how do you feel?" A young and sweet voice flowed into her ears, causing her heart to tremble. She raised her eyes in confusion to look in the direction of the door.
She saw two small figures standing at the door, one in front and one behind. The one who had just spoken was probably the boy standing in front of her. In the direction of the light, Wan Qianqian couldn't understand the expression on his face, but she could clearly feel the exceptionally cold gaze staring at her.
"Little brother, don't, don't play anymore, okay …" For a moment, Wan Qianqian found herself in a spectator mode, watching the figure squatting in the corner constantly crying and whimpering.
There was endless fear in the voice, but also endless desire. She reached out her hands from the corner, hoping to be released from this dark room.
Unexpectedly, the figure standing at the door ignored her, and only spoke softly. "Not fun? Then try something else. "
Then, he raised his hand, and immediately, two men in black walked out from behind him, holding some tools in their hands. The small figure had already left. The small figure had already left, leaving Wan Qianqian in the dark room, watching the person constantly torturing the little girl.
Every single one of those heart-wrenching cries directly smashed into the depths of her heart, causing her heart to feel as if it was being sliced by a knife over and over again.
"No — —" Wan Qianqian almost couldn't bear to watch anymore, and she screamed frantically. At that moment, the dream in front of her shattered like a mirror that had been smashed. The cracks extended like a spider web, and then it shattered.
Lying on the hospital bed, Wan Qianqian suddenly opened her eyes, but found that her vision was particularly hazy, and there was a little cold and itchy feeling on her face. She quickly reached out her hand to touch her cheek, and it was full of moisture.
As she touched the pillow, she found that a large part of the pillow was soaked with tears. She quickly took a tissue to wipe the tears off her face.
When she finished wiping her tears, the door of the ward was violently opened, and she saw Gu Tanfeng's anxious face.
"Qianqian, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere? " Gu Tanfeng was still outside talking to He Zeng about some company matters, but when he suddenly heard her scream, he immediately came in.
Wan Qianqian, whose face was full of tears, felt wronged. It turned out that it was just a dream! A dream that was enough to make her heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe. The grievance forced the tears on her face to start brewing again, and soon, they overflowed her eyes and fell across her face.
Gu Tanfeng looked at her pale face full of tears, and he felt extremely distressed. He quickly reached out and held her in his arms, comforting her softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
But in his arms, there was still a faint sobbing sound. It was especially pitiful, like a crying child who had been abandoned. Her voice was full of grief, and Gu Tanfeng was a little helpless.
After crying for nearly ten minutes, Wan Qianqian slowly came back to her senses. She slightly lowered her eyes to look at her fingers, then raised her head to look at the dark sky outside the window.
Unknowingly, it was already late at night, and the scene of the little girl hiding in the corner and crying in the dream still flashed in front of her.
"Qianqian, did you have a nightmare?" Seeing that her emotions were gradually stabilizing, Gu Tanfeng asked softly, as if he was coaxing a child.
Wan Qianqian, whose head was full of pain, did not answer, but slowly shook her head. After she hung her head for a long time, she continued to lie back on the bed with a faint smile on her face.
That faint smile seemed to be telling Gu Tanfeng that she was fine. Even though her delicate face was still pale, and even though her eyes were still full of tears.
She did not continue to dream of that scene in the second half of the night, probably because she was too tired, and fell into a deep sleep. She did not know how long she slept.
When she opened her eyes with a frown, she felt the brilliance of the sun outside, and subconsciously closed her eyes to adapt to the light.
The moment she opened her eyes, she quickly heard a voice. It was Lin Li's voice, "You're finally awake. I thought you were going to sleep until night!"
After opening her eyes, Wan Qianqian sat on the bed with Lin Li's help, and looked at her with confusion, "Did I sleep for a long time?"
Lin Li nodded very bluntly. She was still peeling an apple in her hand, and her knife skills were very familiar. Every circle of skin seemed to not take away any flesh, and Wan Qianqian was unconsciously fascinated by it.
It was not until Lin Li put the peeled apple into the juicer and gave her a glass of apple juice did she suddenly come back to her senses. She subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and it was already noon.
"Yesterday, I saw you and Xu Changjun …" After taking a sip of apple juice, Wan Qianqian suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. A playful light flashed in her bright eyes, and a gossipy smile hung on her face. She stared at Lin Li, curious about what happened after she left.
Lin Li's eyes landed on her, and she caught the hint of mockery in her eyes. However, she did not reveal a shred of shyness. Instead, she glared at her in annoyance.
But in the next few seconds, Wan Qianqian's eyes still fell on her, which made Lin Li feel particularly helpless. When she was about to answer, another figure appeared at the door of the ward.
It was the main character of their conversation. Xu Changjun looked at the two people in the ward in a daze. A complex expression flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to his original expression and slowly walked in the direction of the bed.
But at this time, Lin Li actually walked out of the door, her face full of coldness, without a trace of emotion. She walked straight past Xu Changjun, as if he was not in her sight.
"Xu Changjun, what did you do to Lin Li?" Wan Qianqian, who witnessed all this, asked in a daze with a face full of astonishment.
Even Xu Changjun was stunned for two seconds. When he was two meters away from the bed, he stopped. A shallow wrinkle appeared on his flat forehead, as if he was thinking about something.
"Xu Changjun!" Seeing that he still did not respond, Wan Qianqian raised her voice a little and shouted his name again.
After a loud roar, Xu Changjun suddenly came back to his senses, and the gentle smile on his face rose again. He walked step by step to the bed and sat down, as if he had forgotten what just happened.
But how could Wan Qianqian let Xu Changjun go so easily? She kept blinking her eyes, and the light of curiosity kept flooding in them.
"How is it? Do you feel better today? " Xu Changjun ignored the little bit of curiosity on her face, and the corners of his mouth curved into a gentle and caring smile as he asked softly.
The next moment, the corner of Wan Qianqian's mouth twitched slightly, and her bright eyes did not let go of Xu Changjun at all. She said bluntly, "Yesterday, I saw you and Lin Li …"
Before she could finish, she was immediately interrupted by Xu Changjun. "Qianqian, there's really nothing between her and me. She and Ling Yuxuan can't get close."
When the last sentence came out, it was like a slap to Wan Qianqian's head, and the light of gossip in her eyes gradually faded. That was the warning that Xu Changjun gave her at the beginning, but after spending time with her, she felt that Lin Li was a good girl, and she was indebted to her for saving her life.
The two of them did not continue talking for a while, and after a quiet silence. Wan Qianqian sighed deeply, and opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something.
But the words that were stuck in her throat were once again choked by Xu Changjun. He said softly, "Qianqian, I know what you want to say. I don't want to get involved in the emotional dispute between her and Ling Yuxuan. I don't believe that you can't see Ling Yuxuan's feelings for her. I just hope that they can leave here."
"Changjun, why do you insist that they leave?" Wan Qianqian obviously did not believe his words. From the beginning, he did not want Ling Yuxuan and Lin Li to come to City S.
As time passed, this thought did not subside, but instead increased day by day, and the doubts in Wan Qianqian's heart grew heavier.
